Frimpong vs Alexander-Arnold salaries

Liverpool is closing in on a deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong after deciding to pay the Dutchman's release clause, which is believed to stand at around $39 million.

Arne Slot is in need of a new right-back to fill the void that will be left by Trent Alexander-Arnold when he leaves the club to join Real Madrid during the summer transfer window.

Frimpong has emerged as one of the best wing-backs in the world, making his relatively modest release clause appealing to the Reds, particularly considering they are receiving no money at all for Alexander-Arnold.

Netherlands international Frimpong can expect to receive a hefty pay rise upon moving to Liverpool.

That pales in comparison to Alexander-Arnold's salary, which stands at around $239,000 per week, according to Capology.

It is not clear how much Frimpong can expect to earn at Anfield last year, but he will certainly see a significant increase in his pay packet, while Alexander-Arnold's weekly wage is set to rise to more than $280,000 per week.

The England international's salary will also be bumped up significantly by his eight-figure signing on fee, which will be spread over the length of his contract in the Spanish capital.
